What NASTAD does

NASTAD (National Alliance of State & Territorial AIDS Directors) is a Washington, DC-based non-partisan non-profit association founded in 1992 that represents public health officials who administer HIV and hepatitis programs across the United States. Its membership encompasses all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, seven directly CDC-funded local jurisdictions (Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles County, Houston, New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco), and six U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions — a footprint that, combined with its 57 Phase 1 Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) jurisdiction support role, gives it near-universal reach across governmental HIV/hepatitis program administration.

The organization does not build proprietary technology platforms in the conventional sense. Its core offerings are resource-based: the National ADAP Formulary Database (a publicly searchable state-by-state medication coverage reference covering HIV antiretrovirals, hepatitis B/C treatments, and vaccines), the TakeMeHome free HIV self-testing program operated in partnership with Building Healthy Online Communities and Emory University, the PrEP/PEP Access Microsite, the National RWHAP Part B and ADAP Monitoring Project (an annual longitudinal dataset of program budgets, expenditures, client demographics, and outcomes), the State Specific Self-Testing Services Map, and a content library of issue briefs, toolkits, and webinar series. The organization also delivers direct technical assistance and capacity building to member health departments.

NASTAD's business model is non-commercial. It is funded primarily through federal cooperative agreements — chiefly as a CDC-funded Capacity Building Assistance Provider, an HRSA-funded ADAP technical assistance provider, a CDC PS19-1906 Component A national partner for EHE, and an HRSA-20-089 Systems Coordination Provider. All services, resources, and membership benefits are provided at no cost to member health departments. The downstream ADAP ecosystem NASTAD supports received $900.3M in federal funding for FY2026 (with NASTAD advocating for $1.075B in FY2027), but those funds flow through state-administered AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, not through NASTAD's own books. ADAP rebate revenue (51% of overall ADAP budgets in FY2024) is an ecosystem-level structural dependency rather than a NASTAD revenue stream.

Revenue model

1. Federal Cooperative Agreements and Grants: NASTAD is primarily funded through cooperative agreements with federal agencies including CDC and HRSA. The organization receives funding as a CDC-funded Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Provider, HRSA funding for ADAP technical assistance, and CDC PS19-1906 Component A funding as a national partner for Ending the HIV Epidemic initiatives.
2. ADAP Rebate Revenue: ADAPs utilize drug rebates as a significant funding source. In FY2024, drug rebates comprised 51% of overall ADAP budgets. This rebate revenue is critical for program solvency but exposes programs to structural risks related to 340B Drug Pricing Program dynamics.

These are supplemented by educational resources including issue briefs, fact sheets, toolkits, webinars, the EHE Spotlight Video Series, and interactive maps for state-specific self-testing services. NASTAD also provides direct technical assistance and capacity building support to health departments. All offerings are resource-based rather than technology platform-based, with no APIs or SDKs.
